			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com">My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom  . . .</a></p><p>Bill and I had a date night out on Friday night.  We were eating breakfast (kid free) on Saturday morning, and our conversation went something like this:</p>
<p>ME:  Where&#8217;s your wedding ring?</p>
<p>BILL:  I lost it.  Like 2 years ago.</p>
<p>ME:  WHAT!!??!!</p>
<p>Now, we were in a restaurant so I couldn&#8217;t have a huge hissy fit, but my god!  Everyone who I&#8217;ve talked too thinks it is funny that I didn&#8217;t notice for 2 years.  However, you have to understand that on many job sites, Bill isn&#8217;t allowed to wear his band.  He also takes it off golfing.  And seriously, how often do you check your husband&#8217;s hand?  (I know you all went and checked right now.  Admit it.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m like why didn&#8217;t you just go buy a new one, and I would have never known.  His response was that I pay the bills, and therefore would see that charge.   When I asked him when he was going to tell me, you will never guess his response.  When I noticed.</p>
<p>And let me tell you, wedding bands are way more expensive now than they were 8 years ago  . . . . Feel free to laugh at my in the comments.</p>
<p><em>Disclosure:  I don&#8217;t normally blog about fights we have, but I have permission from the<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> idiot </span>husband to post about this. </em></p>

<p>I know that I am not the only one who watched the show tonight.  My heart is breaking for them.  It really is (except for Jon.  I think he&#8217;s an ass).  It shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone that they filed for divorce today.  I don&#8217;t quite get what their child custody arrangement is going to be (Though I think the kids will stay in the house and they won&#8217;t be there together.</p>
<p>This should be interesting.  I don&#8217;t know how you raise 8 kids as a single mom.  Jon comes across that he wants to go and party.  I don&#8217;t care what Kate did or didn&#8217;t do, Jon is the one who cheated.  Kate just looks broken.  She looks like she had been crying.</p>
<p>They really ended the show open ended.  We&#8217;ll have to see how this plays out  . . .</p>

However, it looks like we brought it with us.  I have been up since 4 am, but I wanted to post that we made it here!  I love it!  Our hotel is nicer than my house.  I took a few pictures for you all.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the kitchen:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2286/2284567149_1766b90baa_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2175/2285356664_2092a8fd75_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"></p>
<p>The dining area:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3096/2285358272_21797fe116_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"></p>
<p>The living room:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3143/2284572005_0ee6998e9c_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"></p>
<p>Our bedroom:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2284573429_33e61ce2a7_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"></p>
<p>And lastly, the bathroom:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/2285364472_8393e1f566_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2284575017_34f02db135_m.jpg" height="180" width="240"></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe we are going to be staying in this room for a week!  So what do you guys think?  Nice, huh?  We have a great view, but since it is dark, I&#8217;ll get a picture in the morning.</p>
<p>Today has been a really long day.  Our plane got delayed and our flight was like being squished in a sardine can.   However, we got here, the kids are doing great, and I almost feel like we are on our honeymoon again.  Unfortunately, we both are severely jet lagged right now.  Bill fell asleep almost instantly after we got here (which is why I am on the internet right now).  I brought a couple of books to read, but I&#8217;d rather be playing here.</p>
<p>I hope to post a little more later in the week and let you know what we have been up to!</p>
